Cygrid, a cybersecurity startup based in Berlin, has come out of stealth mode and announced a €2.66 million pre-Seed funding round. The money backs its identity-enforcement platform, which controls access to confidential information. According to the news site EU-Startups, the aim is to stop AI agents, meaning software programs that carry out tasks autonomously, from reaching sensitive company data.
Investors
The round was led by Atlantic, a pan-European pre-Seed fund. D11Z, the venture arm of the Schwarz Group, also took part. Angel investors joined as well, among them Boris Gorin, whose role is given as VP Product. The source excerpt does not name the other angels.
Why it matters
Cygrid works in an area where companies must manage not only human access to information but also access by AI agents. The available source text gives no further details on the company's customers, its founding date or the technical workings of the platform.
